How do I avoid a SIM card error on my Blackberry after performing a wipe?

Community Answer

Hold down "End Talk" (the two buttons to the right of the Trackball) for five seconds. The screen of the phone should say that it's shutting down. Wait for 10 seconds. (This step is not completely necessary but ensures a full system reboot.) Turn the phone back on by hitting the same "End Talk" key; you do not usually have to hold it down this time. The phone should then power back on without a SIM card error.
